Welcome to Camp Funk

measuring up

measurements don't define the real you
all moms and dads want our kids to do their best
their best not the best their friends are doing or what the world says is the best
truly their best

sometimes we're awesome at stuff and sometimes we just stumble and fall.
falling doesn't define worth
falling and failing is where we discover what we're good at because we don't stay down we get back up.

They are good at something...
life would be lonely without them
what matters is them
ya know sometimes we get after them for leaving socks on the floor, coat on a chair, not doing your chore list, not picking up.

 Do you know why we get after them? Because we know they  can remember to hang it up and that by remembering they will learn to take the extra step. I know that there are times where we all butt heads, but that’s because we all see unbelievable opportunity in them that they have yet to discover.

 That’s what we as parents do – we fight and push and believe in the awesome in them that they are learning to embrace.

Listen.

This world is hard.

There are many things and people that will try to grade you and categorize you and put you into a box.  There are so many measurements where you’ll feel pressure to squish into. 

(cooking error)

Trust me, you will.

 You’ll be told  you need to look a certain way or make this much money or get these kinds of grades or degree. 

Always work hard and do your best

you are enough, enough cannot be measured

your worth cannot be graded

You are enough because you have a unique and beautiful spot in this world that only you can fulfill.

Know it deep down, that you are enough!

(We're note leavers in this family, always looking for ways to build up others)

You have lives to change

you are unique

loved

creative

because you are enough you will do amazing things

awesomeness cannot be measured
